Assessment of Temporal Variability in Global Inorganic Carbon Distributions

普林斯顿大学和百慕大生物站的研究人员将综合美国联合全球海洋通量研究（U.S. - jgofs）、世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）等项目的无机碳数据，绘制包括人为二氧化碳在内的全球海洋表面无机碳分布的全景图。过去也曾有过类似的尝试，但这将是第一次将高精度的碳系统测量数据集合在一起，以实现对二氧化碳的海洋-空气交换的真实建模。由此产生的映射预计将有助于开发时变区域和全球碳酸盐岩系统参数模型。

ABSTRACTOCE-9903393Investigators from Princeton University and the Bermuda Biological Station will synthesize the inorganic carbon data from the U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (U.S.JGOFS), the World ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), and other projects into a comprehensive picture of the global inorganic carbon distribution in the surface ocean, including anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Similar attempts have been made in the past, but this will be the first time that high-precision carbon system measurements will be brought together to permit a realistic modeling of the sea-air exchange of carbon dioxide. The resulting mappings are expected to be useful for the development of models of time-varying regional and global carbonate system parameters.
